"I didn't know it was that much.' Edwin Goodman, member Pacifica National Board, when Informed and asked to comment on the fact that WBAI was getting 25% of its 1977 income from public grants after having repeatedly denied this in the past. (The grants are predominantly from the Corporation for Public Broadcasting.)

"The First Amendment guarantees free speech, but free speech is not a concrete entity in and of itself. Free speech exists only if it is practiced, a free press is only as free as It will force itself to be, and In America that Is not very free ... We are only as free as we act. WBAI Is one of the few examples of freedom in action In the electronic media.'
-Julius Lester, from Forward to Playing in the FM Bond by Steve Post, 1974

"A mutual sense of respect In broadcasting Is possible only when the broadcaster does, in fact, honestly participate in his own act-that is, when the thing broadcast actually arises in, or answers in immediate and profound ways, the broadcaster's own sense of value. It is then ... that we can accept the occasion as real.'
Lewis Hill, Pacifica's founder

". . . I think that such unhappiness Is due to the epidemic diseases of the mass media and the informational brainwashing of our life style. I call this collective disease amnesia because they have made us forget that there is an alternative life style.'
Bernardo Bertolucci
